  • During mating season, confrontation is inevitable for the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). A once-abundant bird emblematic of the wide open spaces of the West, it is now gone from nearly half of its original range, with steady declines occurring in Colorado and neighboring states. It is the largest grouse in North America. Recent studies have confirmed that oil and gas drilling activities, which have increased dramatically across the Intermountain West in the past decade, are disturbing sage-grouse breeding and nesting sites and leading to population declines in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and other Western states. In addition to drilling in the area, threats also include destruction of sagebrush habitat due to sprawl, agricultural conversion, and wildfire. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that sage-grouse populations have declined between 69 and 99 percent from historic levels.

The Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana), is a species of artiodactyl mammal native to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the Prong Buck, Pronghorn Antelope or simply Antelope, as it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to convergent evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae.

  • The Hayman Fire started 95 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado, on June 8, 2002, and became the largest fire in the state's recorded history. Hundreds of forestry officials and firefighters fought the fast-moving inferno, which caused nearly $40 million in damages, burned 133 homes and forced the evacuation of 5,340 people. The cause of the wildfire was found to be arson.

  • A golden-eyed frog clings to the reeds in the Austin Water Utility Center for Environmental Research at Hornsby Bend. The duckweed covered ponds are used to reduce the algae levels of the treated wastewater. The water is then returned to outdoor holding ponds that have become famous for attracting migratory birds to the area.

  • Neal Cook, owner of Cook's Canoes in Webberville, Texas, points to one of the many points of interest along the stretch of the Colorado River that passes by his business. Formerly with the Texas Department of Parks & Wildlife, Neal has come to see the river as an abused entity, its water levels and flow rates changing at the whim of the LCRA and the state.
